Elastic achieves Defence Cyber Certification Level 0 in the UK
Elastic has achieved Defence Cyber Certification (DCC) Level 0, meeting a UK Ministry of Defence requirement ahead of the December 31, 2026 deadline. This certification verifies that the company meets security standards for defence supply chain partners.
Why it matters
Vendors without this certification face barriers to obtaining or renewing contracts with the UK MOD. It provides public sector customers verified evidence that Elastic's security maturity meets government standards.
The details
- The DCC scheme is administered by IASME and assesses against Def Stan 05-138.
- Cyber Essentials certification serves as a mandatory prerequisite for all DCC levels.
- DCC Level 0 replaces self-attestation with independent verification of security standards.
